    You can get around this by extending your network with a VPN. I know that’s an extra config, but a lot of people who are setting up home labs are already doing this anyway.

    How does jellyfin offer remote streaming without a VPN?

      It has User accounts and have people access with a login through port forwarding. myIPaddress:8383 effectively, which directs to my movie NAS

      I tried to do a VPN with Tailscale and just couldn’t wrap my head around it.

        So, it sounds like it doesn’t offer a remote streaming service like Plex then. You just publicly expose or use a VPN like you can with Plex.
